How do you know this? I think their point remains. Someone who gets a hand out, or wins $, as an example, will probably not appreciate it the same as if someone busted their ass for it. Also, people often have a short memories when it comes

I do 5000 IU per day. NIH recommends 600 IU for most people [1]. The Institute of Medicine says 4k IU as the safe upper level of daily intake. Vitamin D does wonders for my skin. Not once did a dermatologist suggest I could be deficient. I

So true. It's just an attempt to control the storyline. PR 101. And when their political opposition has a peaceful protest or gathering with a few rogue individuals (or actual fraudulent hired "actors" in some cases) then the

Spending a dollar to save 21 cents isn't very wise. The only case for not showing a profit is to invest in R&D, expansion, etc for the long term. In addition, if they were merely inflating expenses, then they'd be able to adju
